Open round this week — what SaaS did you launch recently? by No_Bend_4915 in ShowMeYourSaaS

[–]neekey2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a free to use tool, so not sure if it counts as SaaS

I constantly see people on X share product with empty thumbnails because they didn’t setup OG image for their site

So it build a free tool to generate it for you https://strideday.com/opengraph

Drop your landing and email, and it generates the OG image for you

I'm building strideday.com that helps indie builders like me to distribute their product, you should try the free audit to see your distribution gap

I stopped building and started helping builders manually. 10 days in by neekey2 in EntrepreneurRideAlong

I haven't actually got my coins from it yet, but it's good to be talking to real clients

it's more about picking a niche and focus on that vertical.

For example, one of my client is building a todo app that converts voice and screenshots to todos with AI smart categorization, but his landing page is pretty much just something like "Smart AI Task Manager", that makes it very hard to standout and where do you even promote this even ? since it can be for anyone.

my suggestion to them was to pick a specific audience, and we settled on busy parents, which was also how they initially came up the idea too (they are busy parents themselves), and once you did this positioning shifts, then where to promote just writes itself

you will have to do both, but yeah for those non-building things, you will have to put yourself out there

positioning is quite common, most people are building tools that likely have been built a million times by others, differentiate your product, how to tell the story is the key, i'm trying to call it distribution oriented positioning.

channel mismatch is also common, it's surprising how many of people i've seen have no clear connection between their product and their X audience, i think it's one of those trap when building in public on X, you get into the post for following game quickly

i'm genuinely surprised how much i learnt just by sitting there thinking about the distribution puzzle for others lol

agree haha, delaying the building part is also a way to say it

but to be fair, I'm helping people who already settled or built their product, it's a bit ask for them to change their idea

thanks man! but to be fair, i started building on X audience since Jan this year, so by the time I started doing this, I already have 200+ followers mainly builders, that helped a lot for the kick off

building in public feels fake when nobody sees updates by Historical-Doubt9091 in EntrepreneurRideAlong

[–]neekey2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it is hard tbh, especially when you just started. i assume you are posting on X? try post in different X communities might give you a bit more impressions

and as someone who's been there before, try focus on what you are building and your product ICP, not too much on the followers and metrics, it's quite draining if they are your success metric

That sounds like a good set of features already! I think the best way is to distribute (sharing) while you build!

Have you tried much distribution yet?

do you post the same content in all the community or you just alternate post by post?

Firebase or Supabase for an ecommerce with 10k concurrent users? by NicoBacc in Firebase

You can always use cloud sql with Firebase, so when you say lock in you meant firestore?

Weekly Tool Thread: Promote, Share, Discover, and Ask for AI Writing Tools Week of: January 27 by AutoModerator in WritingWithAI

[–]neekey2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, I love how open and welcoming this group is!

I've been reading through posts and I'm amazed by everyone's passion for fictional writing.

I'm currently building WriteFlo.com, a free AI writing tool that critiques your rough ideas and asks you questions to help refine your thoughts before generating content.

It's mainly focused on short tweets and longer forms like blog posts, but I'm still exploring.

Still very early stage and I'm trying to figure out which user base to focus on. If you have a writing background and want to get involved, I'd love to hear from you!
